Two recent photos from this section of track.
This shows the end of the active tracks at Okerson Road in Freehold, by the Inspection Station. There is a pretty neat looking structure near the grade crossing, which I assume dates back to the PRR days. I'm not sure what it is, though, so can anyone help me out with that? Also, what does the "ART" stand for on the blue sign?

This one was taken at Fairfield Road in Howell. Crossbucks still exist on both sides of the intersection, as do pavement markings. Its interesting to note that this crossing has not been marked Exempt, and despite the tracks being out of service, school buses must stop every time they cross here.

But where were they going without ever knowing the way?
